------------------------ TYPE - Internal DOS Command -------------------------
TYPE displays the contents of a file.
FORMAT: TYPE [d:][path]filename[.ext]
REMARKS:
d: - the drive letter of the disk containing the file.
path - the path to the directory of the file.
filename - the filename of the file.
.ext - the filename extension of the file.
Global characters (* and ?) are not allowed in the filename or extension.
Using global characters will result in a "File not found" message.
Text files are displayed in a readable manner. Other file types, such as
program files, may be displayed in an unreadable manner. The file contents
are displayed as they exist on disk, except that tab characters are expanded
to eight-character boundaries (8, 16, 24, etc).
EXAMPLES:
Display the contents of MYFILE. MYFILE is in the current directory on the
default drive:
TYPE MYFILE

drive. BUDGET is a subdirectory of the root directory. The default drive is A:
